"But not with worldy means. We're also called to be seperate from the world."
From 1 Corinthians 9:
20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
Yes, the most commonly used passage from the seeker-sensitive group.
Paul's really only referring to two groups, the Jew and the Gentile, and his intent is that he's presenting the truth to both groups.
He is not watering down the message so as to not offend them, nor is he implementing un-biblical methods to present the gospel, and he is not sacrificing sound preaching to "win" the crowd. He is still presenting the truth of the word of God, regardless of his audience.
If you read several of Warren's quotes posted earlier on this thread, he is not doing what Paul did. Warren is mis-quoting scripture and taking things out of context in order to satisfy those who don't want to be "preached to". Many of the seeker-sensitive churches implement methods that appeal to man's fleshly desires just to "get them in the door". That is wrong. We are not accountable for making people "feel good" or meeting their "felt needs". We are taught to preach the word, in season and out of season, always being ready, regardless of who our audience is.
Paul isn't saying he became a sinner to win sinners, if that is your implication. Paul says in many places that we should live pure and holy lives, not worldy lives.
Did Paul allow the Judaizers to get away with what they believed then?
